High ? performance - Gregory Haines MD - Dearborn, MI, USA
I got this rather than the 115 v model since I'd either have to run a long extension cord from my apartment to the parking lot or use a DC to AC converter to run it. I thought that the 12 v should give adequate power and might be better than one of the rechargeable models. Well, I was wrong. The vacuum is barely adequate to use in the car. I like the hose and the long crevice tool to get down along the seats, but picking up anything more than dust and such won't get sucked up by this unit. I then ordered the Shark rechargeable with the brush attachment and find it much more powerful and useful. Now if they would just add two inches to the length of the crevice tool, it would reach between the seat and the door jamb. I may keep the Metropolitan for light duty use, but it was definitely a disappointment especially at the cost. Maybe the 115 v model works better?

Dirt Devil 0213CHR Kone Cordless Hand Vacuum - Charcoal Reviews By Customers

Works and looks well enough, a little loud. Not extremely powerful, but great for small clean ups.

A remarkably useless device. - Foo Bar - Chicago, IL
It looked so pretty charging there in the corner I was sure it would pick up some of the dust on the windowsill above it. But no. It didn't even try hard. If you like turning on a motor and listening to it whirr.... then maybe you'd want to buy this. But don't expect to do any cleaning with it. The only thing it's good for is agitating the dogs.

well, this is an annoying, ineffective product - Baddog - Washington, DC
pros:
looks cool
works as a night light
small footprint

cons:
Really, really loud
the "nozzle" opening is small and due to the poor suction, the opening has to be placed directly over the thing you are trying to vacuum; however, as other reviewers note, the exhaust is busy blowing away everything you are trying to vacuum with at least as much force as the suction. The end result being that it barely picks anything up.

It's really not that bad... - Eurie Chung - Los Angeles, CA USA
As handheld vacuums go, it's definitely styled to be pretty rather than uber-functional. Having said that, it's not as horrible as others have written. Yes, it does blow air, but it also sucks a lot dust and pet hair. It's easy to empty and clean the filter, and if I go on a handheld vacuum rampage, it does an effective job of grabbing the dust bunnies that collect under the couch and bed. I'm okay with dealing with a little bit of dust blowing for a more aesthetically pleasing hand vac option because it actually does what it purports to do.
